Are they going to take over the massive wealth-sucking trade deficit that comes with this 'leadership' role?https://twitter.com/thehill/status/882567507646795777 …

Wealth isn't just stuff, it's the ability to make stuff and sustain communities. China can increasingly do that, we increasingly can't.
That's fair, but it's also our job to build our own communities, whether jobs are there or not

-
Impossible to sustain and build communities when those communities are under attack and can't defend themselves.
-
I'm saying there's no law that insists you must organize a community around labor and work
-
There's no law saying humans need air and food or social contact.
-
There are biological laws that say that. But you could organize a community around family, art, leisure, sports, learning, etc.
-
The anthropological literature is replete with examples. Work doesn't have to be everything, unless we insist that it is
-
We organize communities around shared myths, like the notion of work. Still, that it's invented doesn't make it not real.
-
And that we have organized an attack on many communities through our political system to help foreigners (another myth) is also real.

My point is wealth in the US has risen a ton the last 40 years (marked by trade deficits). The wealth has not been shared, but it's there.
